 | | This is my card for the SCS Ways to Use It Challenge WT538 of sequins. I love sequins and can't believe that they sat unloved in my stash for years when I could have been using them on my cards! Don't know who first started the fun sequin trend but it sure has exploded all over the cardmaking world. Why not play along with the Challenge? If you click on this link, it will take you to the Challenge details---> WT538 Sequins! by Shoe Girl at Splitcoaststampers And even if you don't have any sequins, the Challenge has a link to a tutorial so you can make your own.
First of all, I made the background using Ranger Distress Inks. I smooshed Picked Raspberry, Tumbled Glass and Shabby Shutters Distress Inks onto my Craft Mat then sprayed them with water. I lay my piece of Ranger Distress Watercolour Cardstock into the colours and but made sure that I had the green colour along the bottom so it kind-of looked like grass where I would be placing my animals - and the blue and pink where the sky would be. I dried the cardstock off with my heat-gun then used an old toothbrush to splatter almost full-strength Picked Raspberry and Tumbled Glass over my panel. I did drip some clean water over the panel to create water spots but they are largely hidden by the splatters. Oh well!
The hippo, bird on his back, bird's party hat and balloon are all from the Lawn Fawn Year Four set - and the 2 birds on the ground, presents and the cake that the bird is holding are from the recently released Lawn Fawn Party Animal set. I stamped them using Ranger Archival Jet Black ink onto Ranger Distress Watercolour cardstock and coloured them using Faber-Castell watercolour pencils plus the same DIs I used for my background. I fussy-cut the hippo + birdie etc. because I had layered/stamped the images together and diecut the presents and birds on the ground using the matching Party Animals dies.
All the animals are up on dimensionals and I added Stampin' Up Dazzling Details glitter glue to the balloon, pink icing and candle-flame on the cake, the party hats and the ribbons on the presents.
I cut the sentiment from the Year Four set in half so I could have 2 lines which I think balances the card nicely. Lastly, I added blue and pink iridescent star sequins + clear iridescent round sequins here and there using Tombow Mono Multi glue. The Happy Birthday dp is an old one from my stash - the back side of the Jillibean Soup - Spotted Owl Soup. All the layers were trimmed to 1/8" using my Perfect Layers Tools.
